About: ***Please be sure to fill out your pet's entire profile and please do not ask me to contact you on an external phone number until you have been established as a client ; All initial communication must be through the Rover app or website*** Hi I'm Lana! I am trained in animal care and I have been pet sitting (mostly dogs) for more than 10 years. I think dogs are really special beings and beautiful companions. I enjoy being able to give pet parents peace of mind that their loved ones are being looked after with the utmost care and compassion. I have cared for dogs of various sizes, temperaments and ages. My naturally calm and patient disposition works well with most, especially dogs that may need more time and attention, such as shy dogs or older dogs. I am available for drop-in visits, overnights and walks. For walks and drop-in visits, I still have space open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Mondays and Fridays are packed. If you have any questions about specific dates and times please feel free to send me a message here on Rover. I prefer to care for pets in their own home because it offers them a sense of security during a difficult emotional time while their humans are away. **PLEASE NOTE** I am only offering overnights to existing clients of 4-6 weeks or more, I feel it is important for me and your animal companions to get to know each other before their family goes away.

About: I love meeting new pups and helping them live their best life! Safety is first and I will communicate with you to make sure your dog enjoys their walk and has all their physical or medical needs accounted for. Having two of my own dogs I know how important it is to have peace of mind! My background in addition to pet care and sitting has also involved working with herding dogs on ranches as well as many years of horse, goat, and chicken care! Animals have always been a part of my life and I look forward to using my experience to help you and your animals. SAFETY, COMFORT, and FUN are my highest priorities! I work as a full time artist and walk dogs part time. Typically Sunday through Wednesday are my available days! I’m happy to accommodate your schedule as much as possible. Safety is the priority. Before any walks I will check with you about any safety concerns such as whether your dog has behavioral issues, escapes out the door or out of their collar, or any joint pain or physical limitations they may have. I will tend to stick to routes they are familiar with as this is usually the safest route.

“Brittany is super attentive, gentle and kind with my senior dog. She is also excellent at communication. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”

“This was my first time using rover and I’m so glad I found Gavin. He did such a great job watching over my two kitties while I was away. He was so kind and caring to them and he sent pictures every time he dropped by along with a quick message to update me on how they were doing. What I really thought stood out about Gavin’s care was that he went the extra mile and spent the time trying to win over my cats hearts with play times and treats to help them warm up to him. Whenever I’m away I won’t hesitate to contact him. I didn’t have to worry about them at all knowing that they were in good hands. Thanks Gavin! You rock! -Natalie”

“Vicki came to our house to do an extra get-to-know-you visit with my dog Riley. He can be a little skittish with people, but he responded to Vicki quickly. She's obviously a kind, caring person, and I feel confident that I'm leaving my dog in good hands.”

“Ian was awesome. We felt very comfortable having him watch our precious Lady Bug!! Great guy and very reliable, would have him pet sit again in a heart beat! :)”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have volunteered at animal shelters for several years now. I’m comfortable with dogs of all temperaments, energy levels, and backgrounds. I’m also an avid walker, so your dog will actually get a real walk. I regularly care for other dogs beyond my own, and I’ve recently added two cats to my household, so I’m equally at home with feline guests. I work full time, so I’m available any evening after 5 PM on weekdays and anytime on weekends. Happy to discuss your needs and try and fit your schedule as much as I can. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care I’d want for my own. I’ll stick to your pet’s established routine (feeding, play time, and walks) so their day feels as normal as possible. I keep things tidy, clean up after every visit, and make sure food and water are fresh. I’m happy to accommodate any specific instructions about your space, your pet’s habits, or anything else that matters to you.

“James was awesome! He communicated well, is punctual but most importantly, the dogs loved him!”

About: Upon having taken care of pets for quite some time now. I have learned that all animals need love and compassion like us. I have cared for a variety of animals from mice to snakes and cats to goats. All of the time learning what to do and not to do with every animal. I've always had animals in my life ever since I was a little and I loved to care for them. I was a foster parent for cats a few years back but had to stop when we moved. I've own a few dogs and enjoy the company they have to give to us. I would be more than happy to take care of your babies and treat them as my own.

“Emma is awesome! Great with our little Puppies. Thank you!”

“Wonderful pet sitter and age was great with my senior 14 year Chihuahua that can be a aggressive. Would definitely recommend and use her again.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’ve supported senior pets through their final stages with patience and compassion, and I’ve also helped care for newborn litters, closely monitoring their health and development as they grow. I also have personal experience caring for handicapped pets. I’ve owned and cared for an older three-legged dog, and I’ve helped friends with pets who needed assistance walking, standing, or getting comfortable. Providing gentle support and adapting to each animal’s unique needs is something I take seriously and approach with kindness. My lifelong experience with horses — including care at the professional competition level — has strengthened my attention to detail, reliability, and commitment to high-quality care. I’m comfortable administering medications, including oral and IV treatments, and have experience doing so for dogs, cats, and horses. Above all, I treat every animal entrusted to me as if they were my own, providing thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely loving care. I currently work a flexible 9–5 schedule, which allows me to stop by during the day for potty breaks, short walks, or check-ins as needed. Outside of my work hours, I have open availability aside from time spent at the gym or caring for my horses at the barn. I prioritize clear communication and planning to ensure your pets receive consistent, reliable care throughout the day. In my home, my pets are truly part of the family. I have a Belgian Malinois mix who has 24 hour access to our fully fenced backyard with plenty of space to run and explore. She can also come in and relax in our upstairs office whenever she would like, so she is free to choose where she feels most comfortable. We go on daily walks and occasional hikes to keep her happy and fulfilled. Because I also have three indoor cats, one elderly and one still quite young, I supervise full house access to make sure everyone feels safe and relaxed. My dog is very cat friendly, but I am always mindful of each animal’s comfort level. My cats have free roam of the house, lots of toys, cozy spots, and supervised outdoor time during warm summer days. I pay close attention to their different personalities and needs, especially my senior kitty. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as normal as possible for them. I like to learn their routine, when they eat, where they sleep, how they like to play, and any little quirks that make them unique. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away.

About: I absolutely love pets!! I currently have 4 dogs of my own who are my babies! Everyone that knows me knows my passion for animals!! They are like babies to me! I've had animals all my life and have experience working with animals! I was once a vet tech and also a dog bather! I cherish animals and get excited everytime I see one! I believe there is no better person to trust with any animal than me. I know how to groom dogs as well as nail clipping. I have experience with all ages from puppies to senior dogs. I feel when it comes to animals there is nothing I can not do or handle! If you have any questions feel free to ask! I am very flexible with my schedule, I am basically open 24/7 and can work around your schedule. Time and days should not be an issue. I have fully fenced front and back yard, my fur babies are very friendly with other animals. Your animals would basically be with me the entire time I am watching them.

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 10 years old, and have my own grumpy cat so I’m an expert in kitties who may not be super nice. I also have experience with dogs and have had dogs since I was a child, so I’m no stranger to their needs! I will treat your fur-baby like my own - exactly the kind of treatment that I would want for my own cat while I’m away! I am a remote worker, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to check in on your kitty or pup and stay a while! I ensure a proper meet-and-great with both human and pet so that there are no surprises and the kitty or pup has time to acclimatize.

About: My pets growing up were 3 dogs Lacy, Maya and Frodo as well as many kitties. Oso was my Cat, we had him from the time I was 4-14years old. We also had a chicken coop we were responsible for, horses that were our landlords but that we fed, and a fish tank with guppies and sucker fish. My 1st gig watching someone else’s pet, was for an elderly woman at my church when I was about 12. Milo was an older golden retriever. I walked him, cleaned his outside restroom area, fed, bathed, and blow-dryed him. Family and friends have always reached out to me for help over the years, I have cared for Rottweilers, pit bulls, small dogs, handicap animals, both cats and dogs. I am great with communicating and accustomed to following the routines their owners have set for them as I believe that is most respectful. My schedule is 8am-1pm. So I am free all afternoons typically Mon-Thursday. Weekend hours vary for me but I am usually available either morning or night. I have stone floors 1 roll out carpet, and live in a non-smoking apartment. I have a small backyard with dirt area and kennel. Willing to do house visits as well! Don’t mind taking dogs to parks in my car either as long as it’s okay with the owner.

“Jackie was great! Kitties seem to love having her come and play with and feed them, and she was very flexible with my changing work trip schedule.”
